At the sound of a voice, Xue Xingyao and Chen Shujing turned their heads in unison.
Recognizing the newcomer, Xue Xingyao's eyes widened in surprise.
She instinctively glanced downstairs. The procession had already entered the city, but it was being led by a different general.
The latter's expression tensed, a vein throbbing at his temple. His thin lips pressed into a tight line, as if he were suppressing a towering rage.
No further investigation was needed; things were exactly as they seemed.
'Shen Mingji has actually developed feelings he shouldn't have!'
A wave of fury washed over him. He had trusted Shen Mingji so much, never imagining that one day, Shen Mingji would become his rival in love!
Chen Shujing was so enraged he laughed. "This is a matter between my wife and me. It has nothing to do with you. Get out!"
Not only did Shen Mingji not leave, but he walked right in, bold as brass.
He stood beside Xue Xingyao and easily pulled her hand free.
